(Piano and kick drum)

Sally had a pet goat, Jack
One day he went missing and she wanted him back
Found his body layin off the side of a road
Poor Jack had become a chupacabra snack

He’s snatchin’ up all the goats left and right
Suckin out their blood and leavin’ them dry
It's been happening for far too long
And that’s what makes us sing this song

Woah, Chupacabra gotta go
Woah, Chupacabra gotta go
Woah, Chupacabra gotta go
Cause he's eatin' up all the goats

Woah, Chupacabra gotta go
Woah, Chupacabra gotta go
Woah, Chupacabra gotta go
Cause we runnin' out of goats

Farmer Rick raised livestock
The monster picked em' off till he had no flock
Sheriff’s so scared he canceled night patrol
Told Farmer Rick to call up animal control

They needed to stop these nightly feasts
Formed a posse and went out to stomp the beast
Searched in all places both high and low
Found him sleeping so they quietly approached

Shhhh...

Woah, Chupacabra gotta go
Woah, Chupacabra gotta go
Woah, Chupacabra gotta go
Cause he's eatin' up all the goats

Woah, Chupacabra gotta go
Woah, Chupacabra gotta go
Woah, Chupacabra gotta go
Cause we runnin' out of goats

He woke up to a stinging behind
Payback for the tabs he had dashed and dined
Did not speak the language but he knew what it meant
He ran like hell and they never seen him again

Woah, Chupacabra had to go
Woah, Chupacabra had to go
Woah, Chupacabra had to go
Woah, Chupacabra had to go
He was eating up all the goats

Woah, Chupacabra had to go
Woah, Chupacabra had to go
Woah, Chupacabra had to go
Woah, Chupacabra had to go
Cause we're running out of goats

The harmonies sound nice, and so does the pounding piano, which gives it a good drive. The lead vocal didn't seem quite as good as the layers of harmonies would suggest--the vocals seem to lose the groove of the music or get pitchy at points, and your vocal sounds a little thin and nasally to me in this range. The song itself was way too light on content or lasting interest for me--it's kind of a kids' song, super straightforward lyrically and musically. I would have been happy for this to end after the dropout--I don't think the chupacabra spanking verse or the additional chorus repeats really added anything. I’m a sucker for the a cappella stuff though.
